Casual 734 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Nas > Jay. Nas is the goat. They both ultimately have highs and lows in their catalogues but imo Nas has higher highs that have aged more gracefully. Illmatic is the greatest pure rap album of all time and I can't see it being topped ever. I could listen to that album front to back every day for the rest of my life. Concise, technical writing while still telling a compelling story, perfect production, not a single bad track, Nas just glides over those beats in the smoothest way possible. The Score is the only album that comes close to Illmatic for me. Jay albums have all aged worse than Nas' imo, probably cause they rely more on production so they tend to sound more dated. Reasonable Doubt is the only one that's aged gracefully. Blueprint, Black Album both sound so dated these days. Hard to take points away for that, but it's definitely a factor. Nas has: Classics: Illmatic It Was Written Stillmatic Lost Tapes Solid Albums: I Am God's Son Street's Disciple Distant Relatives Life Is Good NASIR Jay: Classics: Reasonable Doubt Blueprint Black Album Solid: Vol. 1 Vol. 2 Watch the Throne 4:44 Edited February 10, 2020 by Casual 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 734 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Also a relevant banger. It's Dark and Hell is Hot is a top 10 rap album of all time don't @ me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
